Courting Gray Treefrog

All this rain moving across the Deep South has the wet weather ponds filled with water & the breeding amphibans out in force.  This gray treefrog (along with 100+ of his buddies & several other species of frogs & toads) was out in the dark last night calling for a mate.

A few more shots & more descriptive commentary here: http://photobiologist.com/frogs-and-toads-go-courting



Nikon D300s, Lester A. Dine 105 mm,  f/11, 1/60th second, ISO 200, tripod, off-camera flash as main light, slight crop to enhance composition.

I bet they sure were noisy. We had tons in our backyard and I'm sure even more in the creek behind the fence.

Very nice shot! Looks like he has a mouth full of chewing tobacco, Jeff
